Organ halogen and organophosphate compounds like polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and chlorinated tris are among the flame retardants that are of concern (TDCPP). There are several different kinds of flame retardants, including certain inorganic flame retardants, phosphorous-based flame retardants, brominated flame retardants, and chlorinated flame retardants. These are employed to create premium polyurethanes for usage in a range of industries, including automotive, construction, and electronics.

Polyurethane Catalysts Market Analysis by Application

Global Polyurethane Catalysts has been segmented on the basis of Foam, Coating, Glue Adhesion Agent, Elastomer, and Others. In 2021, the foam application market had the biggest market share for polyurethane catalysts. While stiff foams are mostly utilized as insulating materials in refrigerators, flexible foams are employed in applications including mattresses, furniture, and construction insulation, among others. PU-based coatings, which are typically used as additives in paints, varnishes, and finishing coats to protect and seal wood, consume a sizable amount of the PU by volume globally. PU-based paints are an excellent coating material for many wooden objects due to their exceptional resistance to water, high humidity, extreme temperatures, and fungus. Over the projection period, strong demand for PU foams is anticipated to drive PU catalyst demand. The segment's extensive use as cushioning in a variety of consumer and industrial goods, such as beds, furniture, automobile interiors, carpet underlay, and packaging, will help it maintain its market dominance over the projection period.

Global Polyurethane Catalysts Market Dynamics

Polyurethane Catalysts Market Driver

  • Due to the rise in vehicle manufacturing, demand for polyurethane catalysts is anticipated to grow significantly throughout the forecast period. Because it shields leather from UV rays and extreme heat, polyurethane is utilized in the seat coverings of automobiles. In the automotive sector, polyurethane is also employed as coatings for a variety of interior and exterior applications. The need for polyurethane in the automotive industry is also increasing as a result of the surge in demand for lightweight automobiles.
  • The market for polyurethane is expanding as auto production increases. This, in turn, is driving the market growth for polyurethane catalyst.
  • One of the main components expected to have a positive impact on the market is the high demand from the automobile sector. Growing disposable incomes, particularly in emerging nations, are anticipated to lead to an increase in first-time consumers and numerous new automotive industry demands.

Polyurethane Catalysts Market Restraint

  • Price volatility for raw materials: Crude oil is the main source of raw materials used to make polyurethane. Brent crude oil spot prices in 2020 averaged US$ 40 per barrel in June, up US$ 11 from May and US$ 22 from multiyear lows from April, according to the US EIA (Energy Information Administration). Prices increased as many areas that had been on lockdown previously sought more liquid fuels and OPEC+ producers agreed to extend the most drastic output restrictions through July. The EIA predicted that global oil inventories fell in June 2020 for the first time since December 2019 due to supply decreases and increased demand. The global oil inventory averaged 8.4 million barrels per day, which caused crude oil prices to drop sharply. Owing to such fluctuating crude oil prices, raw material prices of polyurethane additives are volatile.
